Causality and Destiny

Each consequence preceded by
the aftermath of some effects
reflected in another change
you may have caught or partly caused.

Across our world - the universe -
one mote of dust decides a life.
As future moves from history
all lends itself toward destiny.

That finch nest resting up this tree
depends on wings and winds set free
from storms brought forth by butterflies
sustained by milkweed days away

where one young dancer read by chance
what monarchs need to stay alive.
She loves they drift so gracefully
above her garden full of birds.
